Dehumidifiers

Buy ENERGY STAR® to save you money!

An ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifier uses nearly 30% less energy, on average, than a standard model. Dehumidifiers that have earned the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient designation are the best of the best – they’ll save you more energy than standard models. Saving energy saves money and reduces your carbon footprint.

Key features

More efficient refrigeration coils, compressors, and fans than conventional models.

Helpful tips

Buy a model with the highest energy factor (EF) for best efficiency. The energy efficiency of dehumidifiers is measured by its energy factor, in litres of water removed per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy consumed or L/kWh

Use the chart below to choose the right model for the space: more space and moisture requires a model with higher capacity.

Close doors and windows. Outdoor air can reduce your unit's efficiency.

* If dehumidifier capacity is not measured in metric units, remember: two pints equal approximately one litre.
¹ Space feels damp and has a musty odour, especially in humid weather. Damp spots may appear on walls and floor.
² Space feels and smells wet. Walls or floor sweat, or seepage is present.
³ Walls sweat and floor is almost always wet.

The ENERGY STAR Promise

All ENERGY STAR certified products are tested to meet strict efficiency specifications and are certified by an independent third party. They perform the same as or better than standard products without compromising performance in any way.

Regulations set the energy efficiency minimum

Dehumidifiers are subject to Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations, which set a minimum performance standard for their energy efficiency. Find details in the Guide to the Regulations.
